Can they ? ? ?

Just booked my 2 kids on play scheme, had to pay £234 extra for the wheelchair user who has cp. she needs a 1:1 for personal care so I had to pay for that. What happened to Equality of Access !!

On the other hand that is exactly the reason why disabled children are sometimes not included in these events as the parents cant afford the cost but should consider maybe this is an expense the DLA should be used for if they receive it
I think it would be worth seeing if you could meet with a manager after your children have attended to discuss your concerns and seeing if your local authority have any teams that work with playscheme providers that may be able help. We also support settings to look at volunteer schemes, external grants and fundraising to help them meet additional costs and ensure they can provide inclusive services. Here is a link to the work we do in Leeds https://www.scope.org.uk/family-services/family-activities-leeds/inclusion-quality-mark/ I hope you are able to challenge this situation.
